Proc. AMIA Symposium. 2003 Nov;:554-558.
Considerable research is being directed at extracting molecular biology information from text.

In this paper we present a natural language processing method for extracting causal relations between genetic phenomena and diseases. After presenting the results of a preliminary evaluation, we suggest the use of a graphical display application for viewing the semantic predications produced by the system.
